On February 21-25 we joined our colleagues here in south Brazil at the Hotel Peninsula in Avaré, São Paulo. This is normally a 7-8 hour drive but, well...we won't talk about how long it took us. We missed turns, the car overheated and the GPS was even confused a time or two! A highlight for alot of us is the choir, led by Paul Van Loh. What a joy to sing beautiful songs of praise to Him! Little John Farlow was the only baby there so he got passed around from one set of arms to another! And, yes, I had my turn. I think most of the grandmothers there got their "grandma fix". Thank you, Barry & Ellen, for allowing us to spoil your baby. OK, so I have two pictures of Johnny. Here he is with two of the hotel workers. Such a good baby! The scenery there was beautiful. This is from the windows in the conference room. I have several scenery pictures (there are a couple on my blog) but I'll just put one more here. This is Johnny admiring a huge eucalyptus tree. It is obviously quite old. The black at its base is some sort of fungus. Amazingly, the tree is still living. Well, all good things must come to an end, so they say. But we all returned home thankful for the spiritual and physical refreshment of those four days.
